Asus Eee Pad range to receive Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update
Edwin Kee 10/25/2011 04:05 PDT

Who says purchasing an Eee Pad device from Asus is not worth the effort? Asus has just announced that their entire family of Eee Pad devices that are running on the Android operating system will be on the receiving end of Google’s latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system – and while no concrete timeline is in place just yet, it is a work in progress. Below is an excerpt from the good people over at Asus.

Are you waiting for Ice Cream Sandwich? Good news for ASUS customers. Google recently announced the latest update for Android, Ice Cream Sandwich, which brings some exciting new features and capabilities.

At ASUS, we pride ourselves on delivering a great experience with our products, thanks to frequent updates that further enhance our products’ capabilities. We’re delighted to confirm support for Ice Cream Sandwich on the ASUS Eee Pad Family – our aim is to bring the latest Android update to the Eee Pad Series, but at this time we are unable to set a date for its release. Please stay tuned for more news on our Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade plans.

that Android OS seems quite unstable, the inflation on the release numbers is quite telling, almost Microsoft like

**Butterfly** · 06-11-2011, 07:18 AM

ok I bought the ViewSonic, looks very nice

but fuck, no access to Android Market !!! what a fucking rip-off,

**Butterfly** · 10-11-2011, 08:51 AM

The Viewpad 10s with Android 2.2 is really a wonderful device, quite easy to play and "hack"

trying to find a root shell so I don't need to root the fucking thing for basic root operations

Tell me, did your last car purchase have a fucking engine in it?

It's not as if it wasn't well publicised, you douchebag.

Still, I should forgive you for actually turning away from the dark side.

**Butterfly** · 13-11-2011, 08:57 AM

^ where have you been ? I was getting worried,

I knew I could count on your feedback on a Saturday night,

**Butterfly** · 13-11-2011, 08:59 AM

^^ blame Google idiotic marketing license, not the manufacturer

**FailSafe** · 13-11-2011, 10:17 AM

I just set my HP Touch Pad up to run Android- for 4500 baht I now have one of the most powerful tablets available.

It was simple to add the Google App Market as well.

**Butterfly** · 13-11-2011, 10:38 AM

^ bastard !!!

which android version 3.0 or 2.2 ?

**FailSafe** · 13-11-2011, 10:41 AM

It's Android version 2.3.7- the Cyanogen team is working on 3.0 and should have it ready soon (not that I really need it- 2.~ is fine for me).

**FailSafe** · 13-11-2011, 10:50 AM

Now I have to set it up on the wife's tablet- WebOS is actually a decent OS, but it has no support for Thai language (unlike Android), and that meant she couldn't use it for a lot of her favorite sites.

After spending several hours playing around with it, I have to say that I couldn't be happier with Android set up on the Touch Pad- it works perfectly.

While the days of the $150 32GB Touch Pad are over (I lucked out on that one) you can still find them for $200-$250, and for the money it matches up with any other Android tablet (it isn't ported for Honeycomb yet, though, but that's in the works).

I am looking for a sub $200 7" capacitive android tablet to replace the $100 resistive I was using as the car mp3 player - I broke the screen when I dissasembled it

I will be in Sing on fri/sat , so will be having a look in Sim Lim - but any suggestions are appreciated

^ cheap, but it's 7''

it has Froyo, and I bet Market is not installed

**baldrick** · 18-11-2011, 10:13 PM

being a wizard of registry tweaking , you must know how to install apps via the SD card

though if you read the forum linked , market can be installed

**Butterfly** · 18-11-2011, 10:16 PM

^ you need to root it though, which I didn't have to with my Viewsonic,

beat that, android dwarf

**baldrick** · 19-11-2011, 06:32 AM

if by "rooting" it you mean

settings - applications - unknown sources , and tick the box - thus install any .apk you have on your device.

**ENT** · 19-11-2011, 07:04 AM

^ Since the flutterer is an android wanker as he claims, rooting it would be a bit tough,
but a little dick would be help.

you obviously didn't read your own links, or maybe you didn't finish school you English scum

for that Nova 7 device to work with Market, the /system/build.prop file needs to be modified, and that means root

Thanks for playing,

**Butterfly** · 19-11-2011, 07:51 AM

here it is in case you missed it,

[Market] - Ainol Novo 7 Advanced - Enable Full Market (Possibility) - SlateDroid.com

**REQUIRES ROOT ACCESS**

Edit the build.prop file
1) Open Root Explorer
2) Browse to System
3) Click and hold on build.prop (on bottom)
